**4.1 TH 2 type immune responses**

The TH 2 type immune responses comprises with three independent modules; inflammation, wound repair, and resistance to helminthes [47]. The TH type 2 specific immunity against helminthes are delimited by CD4 TH 2 cells that create signal transduction to produce interleukin (IL) 4, IL 5, IL 9, IL 10, IL 13, Immunoglobulin (Ig) E and chemokine ligand CCL 11 [48] (**Figure 5**).

Helminthes, especially nematodes, developed numerous workings that restrain host to act on them. This provoke instigation to innate and adaptive regulatory cells, inflammatory cytokines and inhibitory antibodies [50]. One of studied example, is the chronic infection of *H. polygyrus*, which showed that there is very little expansion of ILC 2 pool in nearby mesenteric lymph nodes [51, 52]. Probable enlightenment on the issue showed that such infections validate with the release of host derived IL 1β which take a check on for the production of IL 25. This IL 25 acts in return on the ILC 2 cluster [27, 53]. ILC 2 cluster are identified by their expression of IL 2, IL 25, IL 33 and IL 33 receptor (IL 33R) with activation of p38 MAPK that phosphorylates GATA 3 [54]. These factors in return reduce the Ig E, as well as IL 4 and IL 5. They recruit, migrate and infiltrate with these activated eosinophils, basophils and mast cells [33].

The dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous population of immune cells that have specialized functions. All types of DCs are principally regulated by well conserved, various transcriptional factors. These cells are divided into conventional or classical DC (cDC) and the plasmacytoid DC (pDC) [55]. The plasmacytoid DC acquired function to intuiting the nucleic acids and in response producing large quantities of type 1Interferon (IFN) [40, 56]. The other, cDCs, tend to be more active in specialized work of antigen presentation, and later activation of primary T cells. Today, we can further subdivide cDC into murine CD8a/CD103 and CD11b cells [57]. Transcriptomic studies represent a powerful tool to determine the phylogenetic relationship between different cell types of the immune system, including DC [58]. Analysis between goats/murine and human DC subsets differentiating into MF from DC and classifying DC subsets [59]. Dendritic cells (DCs), in animals, in immune competent system accredited to helminthes infection as extensively reconnoitered in past. These infections tend to incline and persuade TH 2 type cells to respond effectively. However, this recognition of helminthes is not yet fully resolved or understood [60]. In the first set of cells are those which specializes in presentation of antigens to CD 8 T cells. These cells prompt to mucosal immunity through TH 1 cells. Whereas the other, murine CD 11b cells, cooperate with both CD 4 and CD 8 cells for its subset activation. These cells provoke specialized TH 17 cells through the stimulus of Interleukin (IL)—17 secretion [59]. The IL 17 activities setup all the framework for type-2 cytokines, and mesenteric lymphoid clusters activation [61]. These neo innate lymphocyte clusters, found confined to differing tissues, which is part and parcel of type 2 cytokines albeit to monikers as "nuocytes" or "natural helper cells" [62]. This stimulation geared up for the first response to the immune challenges caused by helminth

Dendritic cells (DCs) subsets, which differentiated from ILC bundle, perform compounded roles in final outcome in the immune responses. In the gut, DCs handshake many exogenous antigenic pathogen to prevent infections [64]. The intestine DCs and amended Mϕ appears to be indispensable in the instigation of active immunity and homeostasis in the gut. These cells have unique ability to rove through the goats mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) to perform key start of naïve T cells priming for adaptive immune response [65]. These intestinal DCs and Mϕs within the lamina propria perform vital steps in the initiation, development and regulation of specific intestinal immunity [66]. Most naïve T cells mature up in peripheral lymphoid organs. These cells get expression activation through gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs). In goats, Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) act as hub of transformation of the CD 4 T and CD 8αβ T cells which in turn prime the antigen-presenting cells (APCs) [67]. The lymphoid associated organs attain the ability to transfer to intestinal area with specific gut homing

In the small intestine, Lamina propria harbor large number of DCs. All of these intestinal DC subsets are well studied and documented. Of these both highly expressed CD11c and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II cells are of real importance [69]. Phagocytic group of cells in Lamina propria comes from different lineage and perform diverse functions [70]. Relocation of these DCs tend
